 I can't help it, but I love doing things with frozen stuff.

Here I took a small empty cup and covered the inside with thin slices of kiwi. A tangerine in the middle to bring in some additional colour and a bit of water to fixate the construction. I waited for my last pictures until the ice started to defrost so that it was less visible, but - of course - the "construction" didn't agree with this and collapsed.

Modifications:
- levels
- brightness
- hue&saturation
- crop
- resize&sharpened after resizing

This is different, and unique. Seems a little washed out/pale for me and the center is a little soft. All JMO of course. :-) Good luck.

Nice fruit, nice image -- i like the arrangement and the idea but would have liked to see the colors be a bit richer (Comment only, no vote)

Love the composition but would have like to see more contrast so the orange wouldn't look grey

Oh that's frozen. Unique but the color on the orange is a bit flat. I'm sure it's the freezer causing it. Maybe punch up the colors a little. Over all it's shot well.

I would like brighter colors but I think the pale colors here works well with the soft light so 7
